El Dorado County (June 29, 2024) – Doyle Whisenhunt, born on June 6, 1940, to Albert W. Whisenhunt and Bertha L. Parks, passed away on May 17, 2024, after a lengthy illness. He is preceded in death by his parents.

Doyle’s life was marked by dedicated service. In 1959, he joined the Army and, following an honorable discharge, began working for the Yuba City Fire Department. His career took a significant turn in 1967 when he joined the California Highway Patrol. Initially assigned to the Los Banos area, he later transferred to North Sacramento and finally to Placerville, where he retired after 28 and a half years of service. Not one to remain idle, Doyle continued his commitment to public service by joining the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department, where he served as a Deputy Sheriff in the Courts for another 13 years.
